I speaking to Arthur McGowan specifically, as a Catholic HSing parent and I speak from personal experience and from what I have witnessed in the Catholic HSing community. To my knowledge this hasn't been studied yet (maybe HSLDA has something?) but I would venture to guess a much lower divorce rate in the HSing community. It takes maturity and dedication to the family to do this and a similar dedication and maturity is found in those Catholics who use NFP and there is a negligible statistical divorce rate in the Catholic NFP population. The Catholic HS population would tend to overlap the Catholic NFP population.

Your observations re Catholics - with their strict anti-divorce beliefs - could be very much on the mark. The couples I referenced were strict orthodox reformed protestants, rabid anti-Catholics. It was my observation that, often, the strict denominational rules and taboos that these people saddled themselves with put added strain on their marriages. As a strayed Catholic who found himself in the midst of this brittle environment, I couldn't wait to high-tail it back to the Blessed Sacrament.
